Day late and a pound light. Dems are done, it's time for progressives .
I assure you if Bernie was nominated to run for President tomorrow, a flood of, "What has he done to earn my vote?" posts would start.
Just for awareness, 30/50 states have partisan primaries. That means you must be registered as a Democrat to vote in the Democratic primary. It was a contributing factor in Bernie’s 2016 primary loss, and will be the only effective way to replace the corporate centrists with progressives in the 2026 midterms.

For how much emphasis liberals put in elections, they're terrible at winning them
On purpose. They want to think people elections are important and all people should be doing, but manipulate the system in a way that nobody inspiring or capable is ever able to be the candidate. Therefore people get disillusioned and burnt out out of constant useless votes and just do nothing.
Many Americans who publicly discuss politics online will not discuss exit poll results.
If the USA states were individual countries most would flunk the United Nations guidelines. Yet, other than discussing some of the more minor violations, most will ignore the topic.
It’s a giant echo chamber shared across the political spectrum in the states, and it definitely drives out many voices who would otherwise talk about it. There is no champion to rally around for electoral reform. So the politicians in states that have proper ballot counting will not criticize the states that flunk the guidelines.
What I am taking about took decades to get to this way, and will take decades to undo perhaps
You can’t say voting is useless if people aren’t voting. 90M eligible voters abstained in 2024. Trump won with 77M votes. That means there were 13M more people that did absolutely nothing than the winning majority.
We also only see ~20% turnout in congressional Democratic primaries, yet people call for term limits. Rather than asking the system to passively replace Congress, maybe we should actually participate in the elections that allow active replacement of our electors.
Condoning or defending apathy is no different than voting for your opponent.
and all that to end up with Trump!
they don't "just do nothing", they vote for an ignorant greedy asshole who will break the status quo.
I despise Trump but i don't remember, in i don't know how many countries, another politician who actually did what they promised. (except that "groceries" promise 😅
More money in running, losing and being the controlled opposition, it gives them the excuse for why nothing good happens.
Wake me up when they're ready to learn how to make a molotov cocktail
"But we need to vote on if we wanna first, and then meet republicans half-way and only make a mocktail that is means tested."
They're signing the pact with Ribbentrop
"we are ready to vote!!" They screamed, 2 years before midterms, after JUST failing to show up for special elections in Florida.
And when the time comes to stand up, stand together, and vote the orange turd out of office, you will still have 50mil eligible voters who never even registered.
America doesn't care about democracy, as seen by all the times they've used democracy as an excuse to rob another country of resources and left them with no functioning democracy.
Excuse me, but when we do fascism in other countries, that's called Democracy. Now give us your resources.
Yea, not to mention 10 mil who didn't show up 5 months ago.
Shame we weren't ready back in November.
About five months too late, you corporate fucking jizztraps.
I'm pretty sure he's joking about liberals, and isn't one himself
